"Jerry Fishenden, Microsoft's National Technology Officer (NTO) for the UK, advises the company on all aspects of technology strategy. His remit includes responsibility for developing the use of IT for local economic development, standards, interoperability, privacy, security and technical computing.
Fishenden has been closely involved with the UK's e-government programme since 1997, and was also involved in the strategic development of the Government Gateway — the UK government's national solution for user identity and transactional services. We quizzed him on the state of the security landscape today, the challenge of fighting spam and the government's plans to bring in ID cards and create a super-database."
